About this map

St. Paul serves as the primary hub of this Howard County landscape, situated where the broad valley of the Middle Loup River dictates the local geography. The town's grid is well-defined, with central thoroughfares like Howard Ave and Paul St surrounded by residential streets including Kendall St and Jay St. For genealogists and local historians, the Saint Paul Cem is located south of the main settlement along Inman Rd, providing a direct link to the area's early residents.

The surrounding rural sections are defined by a complex drainage system, including the meandering Lake Cr, Turkey Cr, and Big Slough. This network of waterways, interspersed with roads like Jansen Rd and Eagle Rd, highlights the agricultural foundations of the region. The transition from the structured town blocks to the irregular wetlands of the river bottom illustrates the persistent influence of the Nebraska river valley on human development.
